Exclusive

Walthamstow School of Art cultivated some of the most influential creative talent of the 1950s and 60s. Leading names in art, fashion, music and film studied and taught here – including Pop artists Peter Blake and Derek Boshier, musician Ian Dury, filmmakers Ken Russell and Peter Greenaway and fashion designers Celia Birtwell, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin.

Be Magnificent explores this ground breaking era at the School. It shows the early work of these seminal artists and designers and reveals how they took art and culture in radical new directions.
